The Blind Second Chance

Chapter Twenty-Three

Ryder

"What do you mean she's gone?" I got up, struggling a bit and ran over to her limp body. I picked up her hand within my own and stared at her. I pressed my ear upon her chests. No heart beat.

"No" I intertwined my fingers and began doing cpr. I pressed down three times. "Come on" I put my mouth to hers and tried to revive her. "Come on!" I couldn't see her breathing by now I was growing desperate. I pressed at her chest again. I brought my mouth back down and then pumped back at her chest. "Your not dead! Your not dead!"

"Ryder its over" I felt Carter hand touch my shoulder and started to pull me back. I felt limp. Dane wasn't speaking. Two guards came and took her by the hands and feet making her go out of my sight.

I stared at the ground of where she left me. She left me. She's gone. Dead. Normally the word wouldn't effect me. Dead. Killed. But now. Bullets slowly taking my life away, bit by bit.

"Alpha Ryder" Carter spoke being me out of my thoughts. Something that ran down my cheek. A liquid. Something that actually hadn't happened in 17 years. I was crying. Carter came into view and his eyes widened seeing my face. "Hey buddy come on. Let it go"

"She..she was your Luna.." I trailed off and he was up at this point.

"Say something?" He asked. As I kept staring at the ground I got up.

"She is- was your Luna" I was choking on my words. Everyone grew silent. I looked to the right and saw the two guards still holding her body. I walked over as they both passed her to me and I held her, my head down in defeat."Let's go".

With that everyone walked in silence back to the pack.

They put her in a hospital bed. I couldn't process she was dead. I couldn't. How can I? The heart monitor was dead. A flatline. The ping bringing me to my thoughts. I heard the door open but I didn't bother to look back. I felt someone's hand on my shoulder and tilted my head back.

"Ryder. It's been a week. You need to let go"

"Rae You know I can't. I just can't" my voice came out low. I haven't slept, showered or eaten in days. My eyes had bags under them.

"She was my friend too you know! You can't just sit here being all depressed for the rest of your life!" I got up sending the chair back and held her arm in my hand, my claws threatening to come out.

"She was my mate! She died in my arms! She died because of me! I shouldn't have let her go. I shouldn't have been such a jerk and I shouldn't have been such a jack ass! I lost her! I lost her!" I broke down, shaking violently. My eyes were blinded by tears as I felt her wrap her arms around me. I pulled her by her shirt, shedding tears that haven't been shed in years. I heard her sniffling as she rubbed circles into my back.

She laid her head on my chest and sniffled again.

"That day when she disappeared for an hour. You were outraged. You stopped father from noticing she was your mate. I caught you in the hallway, dragging her. Because you loved her. You marked her because you loved her" my breathe went shaky and then with her hand she lifted up my chin to meet her glossy eyes.

"No matter how much of a jerk you were, no matter how many times you've hurt her on matter how many times you've been stupid. You did it out of love"

"But she didn't know that..she hated me"

"She knew. I know she knew because those nights when she came into my room and cried because of you, girls don't cry for just any boy, they cry for the boys that hurt them that they care about"  my eyes left her gaze and went behind her as someone had knocked on the door. She got up from my lap and wiped away a tear from my cheek. She then made her way to the door and opened it. Low voices. They seemed to be talking in a whisper. 

She turned to me, the light pouring into the dark room. "Ryder. There's been a gathering in front of the pack house"

I raised a brow getting up. My eyes squinted from the light. I ran a hand over my face and through my hair. It was a guard, one that I saw a week ago at the dock.

"Alpha. You need to see this" his eyes were wild. I knitted my eyebrows together.

"I'm in the middle of something is this really important?" He nodded and I took one glance back at Emerald. I grunted and then followed him. He led me to the balcony, Rae following close behind. I opened the door and then my eyes went wide.

Thousands of lanterns were lifted up into the sky. The night sky was made of thousands of these flying fires. "W-what is this for?" I felt my grip on the railing tightened, utterly confused at the sight.

"Today is Emeralds birthday. The guards had told her of a Luna and I kinda told them it was her birthday today" my grip loosened looking at my sister.

"What about Father? What will he think?"

"I may or may not have told him that there was a meeting for all Alpha Seniors tonight in another pack" I stared at her and then embraced her into a hug.

"T-thank you"

"Your welcome big bro" and with that she hugged back.

Happy birthday my Gem
